~You judge if you will like someone depending on if there a good actress/actor. OR if someone is a bad actor/actress you automatically can't be seen with them.
~When bored you run through the whole show your in, in your mind (or maybe thats just me )
~During 6th hour you reherese your lines through your head because reheresal is right away (for school plays anyway)

YES!! Sometimes, people have NO IDEA what i'm talking about because I refer to shows in abbreviations. Some of my friends that live far from me (I only talk to them on AIM) knew my last show as ooti (ooh-tee) and didn't know it was really Once On This Island for quite some time...Maria

1. You see your parents no more than three hours a day... and you're ok with that 2. You hang out in the area of the school that most other cliques avoid like the plague 3. You memorize song lyrics and lines from a play quicker than your biology notes 4. You know the difference between upstage and downstage... and which is where 5. You save the programs from every show you attend... ever 6. You know what SR, SL, DR, DL, UR, and UL mean 7. You're afraid to fall off a platform six feet high, but walking on catwalks 25 feet high is the coolest thing ever 8. You'll highlight your lines long before you'll highlight your notes on Government 9. You'll stay at school until midnight practicing, complain about being tired the next day, and do it all over again that night 10. Memorizing lines is more important than math homework 11. Your life feels incomplete if you're not doing a show at the time 12. Half of your school schedule is performing arts classes 13. You long for a strong drink after each hell week rehearsal 14. Being a struggling performer going from audition to audition seems appealing 15. You are afraid when any non-performing art people enter YOUR theatre for something non performing related 16. Only YOU can have food or drink in the auditorium 17. It's you who laughs the hardest at any outside stage show you go see 18. You contort your face into the most disturbing shapes as a "warm up" 19. You'll design a set to scale before you even touch a geometry graph 20. Local fast food establishments get most of their income from when you are on dinner breaks 21. Instead of writing down the notes the director gives you, you draw pretty pictures 22. You get excited whenever you stumble across a script of a play you have previously performed in 23. Hugs are more of a greeting than handshakes or waves. 24. You know everybody else in the club knows your business better than you do and there is absolutly nothing you can do about it 25. You come up with a list of "You Know you're a Performing Arts Kid When"s instead of paying attention in science class 26. You sing showtunes for hours and never run out of musicals. 27. Your wardrobe consists solely of old show t-shirts, musicals, and "I know where the Secret room is!" ones 28. (If you are a girl) You have been felt up by every girl in the club, and have grabbed them inappropriatly as well 29. People's reactions to your friends are "Are they drunk?" 30. You see a trapeze hanging from the catwalks and your response is "Pppfffhhh... No Problem." 31. You all have inside jokes related to one or more STDs 32. YOUR hallways is often referred to as a clogged artery 33. You know your theater better than the teachers do 34. You can recite the opening broadway cast of Wicked, in order... as well as the current touring cast 35. You know that Stephen Sondheim did not do "42nd Street" 36. You know more songs in Foreign Languages than in English--but you have no idea what they mean. 37. You understand that rehearsal--especially for "energetic" musicals involving dancing-- is equally if not more exhausting than running the mile in PE. 38. You know that PE stands for Public Embarassment. 39. You clean up more makeup and clothes off the floor/counters than you ever would at home. 40. When you know the difference between drama on stage, drama off of the stage, and drama in the halls, and are involed in each of them. 41. You complain about the tech head and how stressed s/he is, but then talk about how you want to be tech head for the next show. 42. You complain about being at school til midnight, and even later during hell week, but when it's over you complain about not having anything to do. 43. You dont care when your walking down the hallway and the dressing room is flung open with half naked people inside. 44. You know if you touch the sike (sych? syke? psych? even the Cyc???), you die. 45. You and any other cast member start belting songs from the musical while walking to your next class. 46. It's a common known fact that women change in the men's dressing room because it is less crowded, and they too need a break from the mass chaos of estrogen as well. 47. You have a restaurant that you and the cast go to the night before the last night of the show... and you battle other schools for tables when you get there. 48. Dance moves taught to you in the new musical remind you of last year's moves... so you do those dances all over again as well. 49. The "No Understudy Box" causes you quite a dilemma. 50. A sleep over on the dirty stage in your sleeping bags sleeping under the catwalks would be the most entertaining night of your life. 51. You have a tendency to hide in a pit. 52. You have gotten/listened to a drunk message from one of your performing arts friends. 53. You have been in every show imaginable...and all the others, you know all the lines to. 54. You have seen one or more the cast members dive into the pit during some sort of crazy mass chaos in rehearsal, or have thought about doing it yourself. 55. You know the light board operating system better than your personal computer at home. 56. If you are a girl who has guy friends that can do makeup better than you can. 57. You know the difference between first hell week and second hell week when it comes to musical. 58. You see a movie version of a musical and by the end know exactly what they cut out, what they added in, and whatever else they changed. 59. You cry when you hear Collins do the reprise of "I'll Cover You." 60. You have seen the six hour documentary special "Broadway, the American Musical." 61. You practice lines in the school hallways with friends... and love getting weird looks from people who don't understand. 62. You sing the songs from the musical you're in while walking through the halls to make sure the words stay in your head. 63. You've Changed where possible hundreds of people could see you...and don't care! 64. You've flashed more than one person...by "accident" 65. The words "privacy" and "personal space" have no meaningMaria

28. (If you are a girl) You have been felt up by every girl in the club, and have grabbed them inappropriatly as well Well, good, at least that's not just my school. =]
44. You know if you touch the sike (sych? syke? psych? even the Cyc???), you die. So true! Also, you say it constantly but cannot spell the nickname!
46. It's a common known fact that women change in the men's dressing room because it is less crowded, and they too need a break from the mass chaos of estrogen as well. Whenever I've been in a theatre with dressing rooms, this is completely the case. Once, the boys got kicked out of their room so that we could steal it. I think they had a screen.
63. You've Changed where possible hundreds of people could see you...and don't care! Try a candid picture of you in a bra and sweats has made it to Facebook! That was an interesting day.Shelby Jr. Moderator
